ROTARY STAND CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 11, 1907.

IZ'O a, 7.071.077), it "um/y concern;

Be it known that I, ALFRED H. CASE, a citizen of the United States, and residing at St. J ohnsville, in the county of Montgomery and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rotary Stand Cabinets, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to rotary stands or supports for use in the home, and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of this class which is particularly designed for use as a support or holder for phonograph records and as a stand cabinet for supporting various kinds and classes of articles.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a sectional side view of my improved rotary stand cabinet; and, Fig. 2 a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

In the practice of my invention, I provide a stand or cabinet of the class specified which comprises a plurality of equi-distant posts a, four of which are shown, and said posts are provided with outwardly and downwardly curved legs a and are connected at the to thereof by a plate, board or table member Secured between the posts a are spider frames 0, three of which are shown and any desired number of which may be employed according to the height of the stand or cabinet desired, and it will also be under stood that the height of the posts a may be regulated in a similar manner. Each of the spider frames 0 comprises a central hub c and radial arms 0 and the bottom spider frame 0 rests on and is secured to inwardly directed shoulders or projections c on the posts a, while the upper spider frame 0 or the arms 0 thereof are provided with downwardly directed members a, which are secured to the post a by screws 0 or in any desired manner.

The hub c of the bottom spider frame 0 is provided with a screw d which enters a screwthreaded socket in the bottom of said hub, and mounted over each of said spider frames 0 is a rotary shelf 6, which is circular in form and provided with an upwardly directed flange or rim e Each of the rotary shelves 6 is provided with a central hub a in which is secured a central post c" in the'upper and lower ends of each of which are secured projecting pins 6 and c. The pin 0 in the bottom of the central post c of the bottom or first rotary shelf 6 passes downwardly into the hub c of the bottom spider frame 0 and is pivoted on the end of the screw (Z. The pin 6 1n the top of the central post 6 in the bottom rotary shelf 0 passes upwardly into the hub c of the second spider frame 0, and the pin 0 in the bottom of the central post 6" of the second rotary shelf 6 passes downwardly into the hub c of the spider frame a thereunder and rests on the pin 0 in the top of the post e of the first rotary shelf a, and the successive rotary shelves, counting from the bot tom upward, are each supported in the same manner as the first and second shelves, while the top pin 6 of the central post 0 of the top shelf is pivoted in the cap, table or top board I) as indicated at f.

\Vith this construction it will be seen that all the shelves 6 are free to rotate in either direction and each of said rotary shelves is free to rotate independently of the others, and the bearings between all of said shelves may be adjusted by means of the screw (1, or said shelves may be raised or lowered by means of said screw.

In assembling the various parts of my improved stand or cabinet, the bottom spider frame 0 with the screw (Z is first secured in place, after which the bottom rotary shelf a is placed in position, after which the next or second spider frame is secured in position and then the second rotary shelf e and so on to the top of the cabinet or stand, after which the cap, board or table I) is secured in lace.

Although, I have described the supports 0 as spider frames, it will be apparent that said parts may consist of solid plates or boards, and by means of my improved construction, I avoid. the use of a central shaft and provide a, stand or cabinet having rotary shelves and one which is strong and durable and which may be used for various purposes.

My improved stand or cabinet is particularly designed for use as a support or holder for the records of phonographs or similar machines, but it will be apparent that the said stand or cabinet may be used as a support for many articles, and a stand or cabinet made 1n this manner may also be used as a bookcase.

Having fully described my invention, what 5 I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A stand or cabinet, comprising a plurality of posts, a plurality of supports arranged between said posts one above another and se- 10 cured to said posts, a top board or table, and shelves arranged over said supports, said shelves being provided with central posts in the top and bottom of which are secured projecting pivot pins, the pivot pin in the bot- 15 tom central post of the bottom shelf extending downwardly into the hub of the bottom ALFRED H.
